Mental Quotations | Page 5

I got emotional help and support from my wife and friends. But the physical help had to come from a doctor - from a mental health professional.

He's had some other things from a mental standpoint. When you're dealing with that type of situation, it's got to affect you from a mental standpoint.

He's had individualized workouts, so he's had to do a lot of stuff on his own and it takes good mental preparation to do that. He's grown as a leader on this team and he's worked hard to shave two seconds off his time that he had last year at state.

He's young. We all were like that. You're not the type of goalie he is unless you are that competitive and have that drive to be the best. It's a learning process to where you get over that and you worry about it after the game but the next day it's a new day. It's not always easy. But with his work ethic and the way he does things I don't worry. Obviously his mental approach is something he's going to get stronger and stronger at.

He's cool. He knows how everyone pitches. It's just the mental approach that differs. It helps that he has a track record. It helps that he has a resume. A long resume.

He's conscientious, and he understands that we depend on him to show leadership and do the things we have to do on that side of the ball. Chris has shown his ability not only as a football player, but being able to persevere through some really difficult times. He's shown that if you have a great attitude and mental strength you'll be able to go through that and progress.

He has a gift, man. A physical and mental gift. To be able to do all those different strokes, obviously his brain functions differently from most people's.

He had been reported missing that morning. He has mental health problems.

He has a pretty clear-cut mental approach in terms of attacking the pitch. We've told him, 'Hey, they're going to try to extend the strike zone and get you out on off-speed pitches.' He's done a fine job with that.

He has always maintained his innocence, and no disrespect to Mrs. Freeman, but her credibility, her reliability, her mental stability will seriously be in question at a trial of this case.

He has a little experience as a closer, plus there's no doubt about his stuff. It's all about the mental challenge, and we've got the support here to help him through that.

He did a great job, ... I don't think he was feeling 100 percent, but he's got the mental wherewithal to overcome any kind of tenderness or soreness.

He hates mental mistakes. Errors, you're going to make those mistakes every day. But the fact that you make a mental one was really bad to him. In 10 years, I've never seen him that mad.

He is in great mental stress and he has to decide about the third test.

He is clearly in a better physical and mental position than he was when he started.

He is not prepared, today, to state whether he will waive (extradition) or not. His mental acuity is such that I'm not comfortable, at all, either waiving or not waving extradition.

He is making a big mental mistake by trying to look past me trying to get to Oscar.

He has so dramatically improved. He's a very intelligent kid, one of the top students in his class. He works very hard at it. He's played all year-round this last year, gone to tournaments and worked hard. His mental toughness and some pretty good strokes have helped him climb the ladder.

He has the mentality of the whole team. He does whatever he's asked to do, he never complains about anything. He just goes out there and performs to the best of his ability. He's what you call a football player. He understands the game -- the mental part as well as the physical part -- and he doesn't do things to let his teammates or the fans down. He doesn't showboat. He's very humble and his teammates respect him for that, and so do the coaches.

He looks as if he is in need of a rest. I think there is hardly any problem in his technique and the problem rather lies in mental strength. When he plays he looks like any other great batsman in the world but then he fails to live up to the expectation. And everybody should mind that he is just 21 years old.

He matured even from the beginning of the year. As the season went on, his mental game got better.

He makes some poor decisions. When you're trying to be a starter after being a backup, you just can't make mental mistakes. You make decisions that put you in a bind.

This wasn't even an issue 20 years ago. You didn't even think about it, ... Today, we look at people with mental health issues differently.

There is a strong social bias against such findings because many people want to believe obesity is due to an individual's lack of control on some personal, mental level, but we now think viruses may be a factor.

There is a feeling in the mental health community that this is being stonewalled. I'm hoping to put those fears to rest.

We talked all week about how we beat ourselves last week with mental mistakes and we worked on fixing those things. We had two or three other big plays that we missed. We could have had two or three more scores.

We just have to climb, climb, climb and build that toughness. And right now, it's more the mental toughness we need to build.

We just have some information that perhaps she had some mental problems. She had been acting somewhat strangely. Some of her behavior was somewhat bizarre.

We took it out for a little test run, and it was as much mental for him as it was physical. But the bottom line is he's feeling good.

We took 24 shots in the second half and scored 13 points. It was kind of a snowball effect. I can't fault the kids for that, but we sometimes let that carry over while we were on defense and you can't take a mental break in basketball.

When he's out there in a jersey and helmet, it will be fun to see. ... He's an overachiever who's always going one million miles an hour. He'll give us a physical and mental lift, and the fans will appreciate seeing him back on the field.

What does that tell you about how people value mental health? New Hampshire deserves better.

What I liked was the way the kids stayed together and kept working throughout the entire game. What I didn't like was that we made some mental errors. But our kids tried hard, and it's one of those things. We capitalized on some mistakes by Nogales, and the kids got lucky. Between those things, we pulled out the win.

We've got to work on our mental toughness and that is what we will be working on this week. We have the talent, but we don't have the mental game down yet.

We've got to go out and start all over. I think a lot of people are getting inside their own heads. This game's probably pretty much all a mental game. It's the ones that can pick up their heads when they're down, those are going to be the winning teams.

We've found that with mental training we can enhance certain types of function in elderly people by stimulating activity in the frontal lobes of the brain,

Today, a lot of couples fell. I think it's mental problems.

Here in the U.S., culture is not that delicious panacea which we Europeans consume in a sacramental mental space and which has its own special columns in the newspapers -- and in people's minds. Culture is space, speed, cinema, technology. This culture is authentic, if anything can be said to be authentic.

(Gulf Breeze shot the ball incredibly well and they really kept us out of sync. The biggest positive we can take from this game is that we made some runs to get it back close, we just couldn't get past the mental letdowns we'd have once we (reached that point).

(Her return) is huge. The mental aspect was great and the girls responded.

Her mental toughness separates her from other players. She has no weaknesses technically, mentally, physically or emotionally. I've yet to see an effective strategy against her.

Going into the games, people know what we're going to do; the Packers do what they do and have been successful doing it. It's one of those things if you can zone into a couple things during the week and run that until you're comfortable with it, that's when you take a lot of the thinking out of it, the mental errors in terms of plays and penalties because you're focused.

He's just speaking his mind, and that's true, a lot of it is mental. Coming back from this is going to be a lot more mental than physical. But what I was throwing with was not mental. It was pain. When the pain goes out, I just have to get it in my head that I am well and I am ready to go again.

He's a very good athlete for a big man. If we can get his mental aspect of the game in place, he could be a pretty big player.

He seems to have gotten a lot better. A lot of the things that we were working on with him were mental and technical. He's done a real nice job of doing what the coaches have asked him.

He seems to be doing better than I did with it, and I thought I did pretty well, ... His mental toughness is second to none, and that's what'll get him over the hump.

He showed me how to watch film and what tendencies to look for. What I see on film, I just take it to the football field, because football is a mental game.

He should be sentenced for as many years as possible for the mental abuse he inflicted on me and my friend, ... I'm sure there are others out there who would like to see him locked up.

He's got the mental fortitude to block everything out and just focus on the hitter, focus on the task and then execute the pitch to get that hitter out. Andy would be my guy.

He?s gotten bigger, stronger, and some mental toughness also.

His passing and defense have gotten better. He's made a lot of improvements physically and he's making mental improvements as well. He needs to be a little bit more confident of his place on the team.

(His mental health history) suggests that his criminal culpability is materially diminished.

his mental and emotional conditions at the time.

His stamina is the best it's ever been. I think it's more consistent. He's not making mental errors and he's just playing hard. Before, James seemed good for about two or three plays, but now I think he knows that he's the starter and he's the guy.

Hobbes got all my better qualities (with a few quirks from our cats), and Calvin my ranting, escapist side. Together, they're pretty much a transcript of my mental diary ... it's pretty startling to reread these strips and see my personality exposed so plainly right there on paper. I meant to disguise that better.

He's a very technical player and is not afraid to take on other players. It was just a mental thing. He used to dominate players his own age, and now that he has made the adjustments he's able to play against others his own age.

He's going to be so much further ahead of the other guys, his attitude has to be it's his job and he's not going to relinquish it. I think A.J. realizes that no matter who comes in it's his job to keep in terms of hustling, making plays, not making mental mistakes. So his opportunity is golden.

He's done a good job. He has minimized his mental mistakes. He's become a starter and he has played fast in the games and made some plays. We (will) keep working with him in hopes that he'll be able to execute on a consistent basis and continue to eliminate those mental errors that can get him in trouble.

He's doing what we need. A big percentage of the team needs that mental toughness, and that's what we have always needed here. That will hopefully pan out and make us a tougher, nasty team. We want it where teams don't want to play us.

There is a mental edge that comes with the injections, and it's definitely something that gets you more intense,

We may lose our memory as we get older, but this might not be such a bad thing - who wants to drag a mental junkyard around at a time of life when you're starting to grow interesting little wings?

We have to be competing with other sports like golf, tennis, table tennis, football but bridge has its attractions. It stimulates the mind and facilitates a great deal of social interaction. We want to go into the schools and say to the principals 'bridge is a game just like chess' that can stimulate students to think analytically and to develop his or her mental skills. We will send bridge teachers into schools.

We look at the whole package, physical and mental aspects, especially how people react to what's going on. Mike has qualities that work well on the football field. He could've come in here from a Division I school and had an edge but it was the exact opposite. He has come in and fit like the proverbial expensive Italian glove.

We make a lot of dumb mistakes. Just mental errors down the stretch. Turnovers. Just mental lapses that come back and get us. ... Giving somebody an open 3-pointer. Not being in the right place on a play.

We made two mental lapses where we gave them open shots in the corner. From there, we just got cold. We got some decent shots and just weren't able to get them to fall.

We made too many physical and mental mistakes to hang in there with a team like Georgia .

We made too many mental errors. Concord didn't hurt themselves like we did. But it's going to get better.

We made too many mental and physical mistakes to hang in there with a team like Georgia. We had opportunities. We had people open. We had to kick a field goal when we should have had a touchdown. Those kinds of things prevent you from having a chance to win the game.

We made some mental mistakes, but we're still so young, and that's going to happen. Our four freshmen played way above their time.

We made some mental mistakes and that opened the door for them. We hit the ball very well. But we had the bases loaded with one out in the fourth and could not score a run.

We made some mental mistakes and missed free throws in the second half. I thought we played hard. We just gave up too many second chance shots to them.

We made some mental errors tonight that we need to get rid of. We are just real happy right now to be 5-0.

We made some mental errors at key times. Kim Anderson has done a great job filling in for Sarah.

We made some mental errors and they capitalized. It took us a while to get our composure, and we were playing catch-up.

We made mistakes and paid for them in the third quarter. We had our opportunities and we just didn't get to the loose balls. Guys get tired and when they do, they make mental mistakes. We just ran out of steam playing a good team on their home floor.

We made mental mistakes. We didn't pick up loose pucks and we left men uncovered.

Huntsman has really been battling his swing. But we've been looking for someone to be in the outfield regularly and he's kept a good mental frame and been a good leader in the clubhouse.

He was everything we had hoped to see. The things you don't know when you make a trade ? the mental approach, whether he will be a good teammate, were the most encouraging things, in addition to his physical tools.

I actually had a 17-pitch at-bat one time. The problem with long at-bats is that you typically miss pitches you should have hit, so you can't get into a mental game.

He wants us to come out showing a lot of energy, play hard, no mental mistakes.

He wanted to cut his time. What he got was a whole bunch more time. What kind of mental machinery does this guy have in his head?

He just doesn't make a lot of mental errors,

He is very steady. He very rarely makes a mental error. I think he improved all spring.

Guys that play that role, perhaps they have physical limitations - they're not 40-goal scorers, they're not goaltenders - but they at least had the presence of mind to recognize that there's a niche for them and they filled that. But in no way does that diminish any mental attributes or any intellectual, marketable skills they may have at the same time.

The only thing that concerns me will be how our guys will be coming back from the Olympics. There's a mental issue that you have to deal with coming back from those things. These guys expend so much of themselves at this event. It's such a pinnacle at two-thirds of the way through the season. I don't know how that magnitude of an event is going to affect them. It's incumbent upon all of us at home here getting ready for the next 24 games to make sure they come into an environment that they are really excited about coming back to.

I was just a mental case, to tell you the truth. I worked on my approach and learned what pitch to swing at and it's paid off. I was just swinging at bad pitches.

I was interested in photography when I started college at Antioch. I took a basic photo course there, and other photography classes. I got my first real job through a work-study program at Antioch. It was working as a helper in a mental hospital. Strange, but I'm sure that had something to do with where I am now.

Kevin's a great coach and the hands-on guy that's taken Eli through all the mental processes, ... Being his position coach, it's Kevin's responsibility to teach him how to conduct his business and how to accept his role as a team leader.

I wouldn't be afraid to put him up there. He's going to make mistakes, but he's not going to embarrass you. He has all the tools, and a lot of times the thing that holds those five-tool guys back is the mental part. It's about getting experience and learning the nuances of the game.

Just recently, within the last couple of days, (I was) advised by appointed experts that there's a mental retardation issue. And by law, we have to explore it. We have no choice.

Just one statement would be: missed opportunities. We didn't get that one big hit, that stolen base or take advantage of a mental mistake they made. It's just frustrating, more than anything.

Jon pitched a very good game, but there were two innings when we gave them five outs. We're a pretty young team, and we were missing a couple of players today, but that's no excuse for mental errors. We have to improve in that area, and it's my job to see that we do.

I suspect that Helen and I are still together because of this unspoken acknowledgment that I needed this lively mental life.

It actually was an important match. My senior year, probably the last time I'll face him unless I get him at districts, so yeah, it was an important match to me. I tried hard, but I didn't have the mental game today.

I take those kinds of things personal. It is time to start again. I will play the best mental game I can and hopefully that helps my physical game.

I think it is very important for kindergarten students to continue to have nap time. They are not used to so much mental work, and they become tired, and need rest.
